I’d done Duality for just a couple of weeks when my cousin was murdered in the Dominican Republic. I’m not much of a woo-woo girl, but I swear she came to me that night. With motherly energy, she stroked my cheek, comforting me and assuring me she was completely at peace - and to ask for my help to protect her family and preserve her legacy. The next 4 days were filled with non-stop media interviews and family conversations. Many of my family members feared her death would only perpetrate fear of the Dominican Republic and brown people. In part, they were right. However... When all the media wanted to talk about was the painful details of her murder, I was able to use Jeffrey’s techniques to stay centered and keep the focus on the remarkable life of this brave, kind soul who had moved to the DR at age 58 to make the world a better place. As I told Fox News, “She was more afraid of not living than she was of dying.” She believed Montessori education was the path to peace and prosperity. The Patty Anton Peace Park will be built in her honor at 3 Mariposas Montessori in Cabarete, Dominican Republic.
Thanks to the energy techniques I learned and practiced to the best of my abilities during this stressful time, over the course of the week, all the news stories softened, focusing far more on her life than her death. Inside Edition even flew a news crew to the DR and filmed a heart-warming piece, covering the 10-year anniversary of the school she helped build and her memorial service. On behalf of my entire family, I am forever grateful. The picture is below is of Patty and I in the DR in Feb 2016.
